What contest was this cabrillo log from?


I have uploaded about 98,000 contacts to LOTW.
I keep all my logs in TR-Log - it is my day to day 
logger and after a contest I take the log file
from the contest and copy it onto the end of my 
daily log that I keep for each year.

So I have yearly log files that have about 20-25k QSOs in
them.

I use BV as my buro QSL program.  I find that BV is a very 
good conversion program for TR .dat files.  I use BV to 
convert my TR .dat files to .adi format.  Seems to work
very well for me - it does have some problems on bands above 
2 meters but I dont have that many contacts on those bands.
